[QUOTE="fforde, post: 195314, member: 52082"] You're right, the wording in the config screen is not very clear. Regardless of the description, the way the functionality works is it automatically matches any series with the first [I]exact match[/I], case is unimportant but special characters matter. So "mr. bean" would match to "Mr. Bean" but "mr bean" (without the period) would [i]not[/i] match to "Mr. Bean". The number of [i]possible[/i] matches is unimportant though, so if you have 5 possibles but one exact match, it will automatically select. But if you only have one [i]possible[/i] match, and that's it, it will still prompt you to ask if that single series is the one you are looking for because the plugin feels that is an ambiguous match. It could be it it could not. The whole punctuation thing is kind of silly though in my opinion, so for the next SVN I will try to modify the functionality to strip punctuation before comparing. I'll update the description in the config screen as well to more accurately match the functionality. As far as going with a [I]possible [/I]match when there is only one result, we could probably add that in as an option, I would want to talk to Inker about that first though. I think the real solution here though is to modify the import process to have all user interaction at one specific point, preferably at the very beginning. It really shouldn't be necessary to keep coming back to the import process over and over over the course of three days. It should be a setup and go process. This will take a bit more work to fix, but I will start looking at this this week. [/QUOTE]
